What do you get when you cross Batman: Arkham with Assassin's Creed and place it in Middle Earth? A pretty stellar game, actually. Whilst far from the first game based on the Lord of the Rings franchise, Monolith Productions' surprise hit of 2014 is a testament to portraying film licenses well in the medium, turning in an impressive release that managed to push genre boundaries, whilst at the same time adhering to the tried and tested gameplay of third-person action adventures gone by. The end result was a game that held an undying reverence for J. R. R. Tolkien's lore, as well as one that felt confident enough to carve out its own path within the mythos. It was a little strange that we saw no mention of Mordor's sequel at E3, but here's hopingWarner Bros. are saving an announcement for somewhere later down the line.
